if you let the paint cure fully and roll properly and carefully it shouldnt. ---

Depends on how much filler/plastic they had to use. My guess is it will crack. ---

Decent shops will have a fender roller and use a heat gun to soften up the paint. If they take thier time and do it properly there should be no paint cracking at all. ---

When I did my fenders, I used a proper tool and a heat gun. 3 fenders that had original paint were perfect, no cracks at all. The one fender that had been resprayed cracked on me. If they used good paint, and did it properly, you shouldn’t have a problem… but just go slowly and use lots of heat and keep the temp up there during the job. Good luck. Theo
